In Reply to: UCLA #15 in NET. 3-1 in Quad 1 games with 3 more in 1 week... posted by Born2BBruin on December 29, 2024 at 08:41:31
could be very tough. 3 of those 4 games are on the road at Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers. The Maryland/Rutgers trip could be rough. Maryland is very good and Rutgers isn't rated that high but I've seen them play twice and they can be a load. They are 7-5 on the season (6-1 at home and 1-4 on the road).
They went on the road to both highly rated Alabama (lost 95-90) and Tex A&M (lost 81-77) and beat a good Penn state team 80 to 76. So they are certainly no patsy. They have a pretty big and physical team with two 6'10 guys (one at 270 lbs) in their starting lineup and a 6'10, 275 and 6'8, 235 lb player off the bench in their 8 man rotation. Their two top scorers are 6'6 guard Dylan Harper, averaging 23 and 6'10 Ace Bailey--classified as a guard, averaging 17 per game and some coming from beyond the arc. As a team, they average near 79 points to opponents 75. Not a gimme game for sure.
